Apple TV “Confirm with Apple Device” not working

Hi ApplUser1,

Thanks for the additional information, we appreciate it.

The purchase verification prompt is related to the Apple ID signed in at Settings > Your name.

However, with the actual purchase being made with a different Apple ID, this is probably why you aren't getting the security prompt.

Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support

Since you've started using two Apple IDs awhile ago, this issue may be related to the fact that the Apple ID security function has advanced over the years, such as with two-factor authentication.

Manage your Apple ID

We should only be using one Apple ID for seamless function for all security actions. The thing is, you can not merge Apple IDs, so switching to one Apple ID would need some additional preparation. You can follow the steps in the below article to archive the data kept in iCloud with your other Apple ID:

Archive or make copies of the information you store in iCloud - Apple Support

Then sign out of the "iCloud" Apple ID and sign in with the "purchases" Apple ID. You may be asked if you want to merge the iCloud data, at this point you would say yes.

Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support

You can always sign in with the iCloud Apple ID at the iCloud website to view the data available there.

Sign in and use iCloud.com - Apple Support

Sign in to iCloud.com

1. Go to iCloud.com, then sign in with your Apple ID.

2. If you’re already signed in to your device with your Apple ID and your device has Touch ID or Face ID, you can use it to sign in to iCloud.com.

If you set up two-factor authentication or two-step verification, follow the onscreen instructions to verify your identity by entering a code sent to a trusted device.

We hope this helps to explain why this is happening. For additional assistance with managing your Apple ID, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support.

Take care!

Greetings, ApplUser1. 

If you are not receiving the prompt to confirm your movie rental, make sure you are signed into the correct Apple ID on both your Apple TV and iPhone. This way, you can be sure that you’ll receive a prompt as expected. Learn how to sign in here: Sign in with your Apple ID

Should we have an incorrect understanding of the issue, consider offering more detail to help the community guide you to a resolution. 

• Which device and OS are you using?
• Have you ever been able to rent a movie?
• Can you purchase other content?

We hope this helps to further isolate and resolve the issue to get movie rentals responding normally when asked.

Best wishes. 

Hey ApplUser1.

Family Sharing could be a viable option for some content. Check out a detailed list of what can and what cannot be shared with members of your Family Sharing group in What types of content can I share with my family?

If you decide to give it a whirl, these are the steps to start a family group on iPhone as explained in Set up Family Sharing

" On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

2. Tap your name.
3. Tap Family Sharing, then tap Set Up Your Family.

6. Follow the onscreen instructions to set up your family and invite your family members."

Further down on that same page, the Invite people to join your family section explains how you can add users to the Family Sharing group. Finally, once you've been added, you can follow the steps in How to share purchases with your family so that compatible content is shared to all members:

"Use your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to turn on purchase sharing

1. If you haven't set up Family Sharing yet, set up Family Sharing.
2. Open the Settings app.
3. Tap your name, then tap Family Sharing.
4. Tap Purchase Sharing.
